It's rather necessary to test it well, because I didn't actually remove
the card's case to see the chip; I relied on my own tests and info from
the INet, thus some problems may appear if Linksys modified the chipset

Linksys PCM200 is the only 32-bit PCMCIA NIC available in Compusmart -
I'm sure that soon someone will buy the card, find the patch, and test
it. It's better to wait for feedback before committing the patch.

I suggest that you change the description to:
"Linksys PCM200 EtherFast 10/100 CardBus NIC, v.03 (ADMtek Centaur-C)"

Card's versions differ between each other significantly. Also, there will
be no easy way to find out card's chipset if it won't be stated in the
description.
The string will fit on console even better:

dc0: <Linksys PCM200 EtherFast 10/100 CardBus NIC, v.03 (ADMtek Centaur-C)> port
 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0x88002000-0x880023ff irq 9 at device 0.0 on cardbus1
